Strong champs / Nakamura question
By Scott Keith on 16 July 2019
Scott,
Saw something in another thread about now that we are past Extreme Rules and Heyman/Bischoff should start exerting more influence that we might see less jobbing out of champions week in and week out on TV. It got me thinking: they had Nakamura defeat Balor pretty definitely in two straight matches – one non-title, and then last night to win the IC title.
So if they continue this idea of a "reborn" Nakamura who's going to keep knocking people silly and feed him wins to bolster him as a strong IC champ, is that enough to save his main roster run? They've really felt like they dropped the ball hard with him ever since his Rumble win, but can this turn him around, or is it too late?
Cheers!
Nakamura has made it pretty clear that he's here to surf and collect his money as a paid vacation, I think. There's really nothing to "save". He is what he is at this point.
